I have a Patagonia Duffel bag with a stuck zipper. It isn't stuck with material in the teeth. The zipper is plastic but looks as if it has corroded a bit and has seized. What is the best way to unstick this zipper?

If the zipper is jammed closed to an end, try using a pair of pliers to remove the zipper stops on one side. With some luck and patience, you can pull that side completely off through the slider, reset the zipper, and then replace the zipper stops.

You can find beeswax at any sewing supply shop (and probably the sewing aisle at Walmart/Target/Kmart/etc). It's also useful to strengthen and stiffen thread when sewing (draw the thread through the wax) and to lubricate sticky drawers.

A cool tool can be any book, gadget, software, video, map, hardware, material, or website that is tried and true. All reviews on this site are written by readers who have actually used the tool and others like it. Items can be either old or new as long as they are wonderful. We post things we like and ignore the rest. Suggestions for tools much better than what is recommended here are always wanted.
